The bus station attendants and drivers are very polite. It happened to be Friday and the bus was late. The station attendants are very considerate and will confirm the reservation time with you at the station. You need to make an appointment online first.

It only has Level 2 transparency and Level 4 shaking, but I still saw schools of fish and coral reefs on the seabed. The boat didn't shake too much, and it was a very special experience to see the underwater world through the glass boat!

The stalactites in Yuquan Cave are breathtaking, and the Taiko performance is worth the price of admission! Afterwards we went to the seafood market to eat delicious food. It would have been better if we could stay longer.

This is my second time to play go-kart with this company. This time I brought my friends to play. My friends also thought it was very fun and the price was reasonable. If you come to Okinawa and get an international license, you must try it.

Super good value for money, from north to south so play, every place has enough time, after a while and can rest assured, before getting off the driver will be in the front of the car to place the meeting time, not afraid of communication, because there is no need to communicate 🤣 Buy one get one free than your own car to go much cheaper, and do not need to slowly find the way and find a car.
